NFL now proposing one preseason game

[Jeremy Igo]

Players want 0 preseason.

NFL has dropped from 2 to 1.

fug the preseason. Let's get to the real games.

They should just start the regular season whenever the first preseason game is normally played. That would make room for more bye weeks and give extra wiggle room in case they need to pause the season.

Imagine the Panthers playing in a totally new offense and defense after only 2 weeks of training camp.

 

Talk about a poo show.

So you're saying it would look like a post bye week Rivera coached team?

I'm sure the fans will understand. 

If nothing else, it gives us the perfect excuse while tanking for Trevor or Fields.

I will be shocked if there are more than one or two games played before this season is cancelled. You can only deny reality for so long.

I kind of like this idea.

Works for me. I don't see the season being completed and it will take us some time to gel. We'll be taking those L's proper. No preseason and an abbreviated season = big time inside track to the #1 overall pick IMO.

What really would suck? NFL plays and college doesn’t.  We secure a top 3 pick...

then Fields and Trevor stay to play in college and don’t come out since they didn’t get to play

Oh wee mayne. I just can't see it happening though. They'd be draft eligible since they'd be three years removed from their HS class graduating. They're not required to complete three years of college competition, just be three years removed from graduating HS.

just saying....how many first round caliber players at Clemson have stayed at Clemson in recent years under Dabo?  Several.   Clemson DL stayed to win a natty.  Etienne went back this year.   They didn’t stay to improve their stock. 

Everyone isn’t in a rush to grow up when they know they got the talent and don’t have  a family that is dependent on them getting that NFL check immediately.

I meant I *can't see them BOTH doing it. One or the other going back makes the other a near slam dunk as the #1 overall pick.

Let’s look at the glass being half full.......

With one game, both the offense and defense will be entirely vanilla.  The first few teams will have 0 film on any defensive schemes or offensive plays.  Advantage Panthers.

A major reason for preseason games is to get a look at rookies.  With only practice and one preseason game some will get cut who will eventually be good players.  With Rhule’s recent college knowledge and the team going younger, they can afford  to churn the bottom of the roster and take chances others may not want to.  Advantage Panthers.
